As a kid traveling with the family across the New Jersey turnpike, I always preferred deer strapped to the roof, rather than the hood or trunk, that way the dripppng blood was way more visible and gruesome running down the windshields and windows than just the fenders. Good times.My Dad's biggest buck, tied onto his car for the trip home, with the farmhouse where he grew up in the background. The house got indoor plumbing during his lifetime and electricity in 1947. This picture was taken in 1950 or so.

How about Hawaii? I'll be on the Big Island, that's America as well. Do you know if we will we be able to see it from there?There will be a total solar eclipse on August 21. The path of totality crosses the United States from coast to coast. In Salem, Oregon, near the center of the shadow, hotel rooms are nearly sold out, and those that offer rooms have quadrupled their usual prices. The Coast Starlight and Cascades Amtrak trains are sold out north and south through Salem on the 22nd, and have limited fare options on the 20th and 21st.
Not much.How about Hawaii? I'll be on the Big Island, that's America as well. Do you know if we will we be able to see it from there?
Looks like we could change plans and visit some friends in South Carolina instead!
The age of Trump, nothing matters and everything goes . . . the age of chaos.News going a little silly today -- an article about John Kelly, White House Chief of Staff-designate, called him "Admiral Kelly", and an article about sexual harassment among employees at Yellowstone NP had a picture of Yosemite Valley.
Fact checkers on summer vacation?
My brother reserved a hotel room in North Carolina a year ago. He's more forward-looking than I am.
Damn, that's a hardcore Astronomy junky there.
Try getting a room in Tokyo in the spring during Cherry Blossom season.Damn, that's a hardcore Astronomy junky there.

Get a life.Due to Democrats.....
Is stupid a ticket-able offense? . . . it should be.Something I just posted to facebook --
Aside from the general bad judgement of riding a motorcycle on the freeway during the first little rain we have had in months, it's really stupid to split lanes at about 20 mph faster than traffic that is moving at a pretty good pace, even if a bit slower than the legal maximum; and triply stupid to do it down the right-hand shoulder; and quadruply stupid to do that across the marked entrance to an offramp, especially one that I was using. If I had been quicker, I would have gotten the plate number and phoned it in in accordance with CHP's posted suggestions to report suspected DUIs on 911.
